This article uses evidence mainly from the Eastern Mediterranean and Oman to help
understand the origin and emplacement of ophiolites. Field studies in these regions …

The Tauride ophiolites lie on the northern and southern flanks of an EW-trending Tauride
carbonate platform. They mainly consist of three tectonic units namely in ascending order …

The two main Tethyan sutures of Turkey, the İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan and the Intra-Pontide
sutures, are reviewed through several well-studied transects crossing the suture regions …

The Eastern Mediterranean region exhibits a fascinating diversity of ophiolites and related
oceanic magmatic units of mainly Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous age. Comparisons with …

The Black Sea region comprises Gondwana-derived continental blocks and oceanic
subduction complexes accreted to Laurasia. The core of Laurasia is made up of an …

Late Cretaceous–Early Eocene Tethyan evolution of western Turkey is characterized by
ophiolite obduction, high-pressure/low-temperature metamorphism, subduction, arc …

Abstract We review the Palaeozoic-Early Mesozoic evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean-
Balkan region with special reference to Anatolia, and provide new isotopic data on the …

Abstract Permian-Triassic and Late Cretaceous accretionary complexes, ascribed to the
consumption of two distinct oceans, the Paleo-and Neo-Tethys, are exposed over extensive …

Abstract In the Central Sakarya area of Turkey there are two main Alpine continental units,
separated by a south verging ophiolitic complex which represents the root zone of the İzmir …

A belt of Late Triassic deformation and metamorphism (Cimmeride Orogeny) extends east-
west for 1100 km in northern Turkey. It is proposed that this was caused by the collision and …
